If I were as wealthy as Elon Musk, people would hate me far more because I’d be undertaking vastly more insane things, like opening the first pizzeria on the moon and building absurdly enormous nuclear reactors for desalination and then greening the entire desert Southwest.
I’d also be doing all kinds of highly controversial CRISPR crap in the middle of the ocean somewhere.
Yeah, I’d be utterly despised. And I’d be ok with that.
